Today while I was working on getting the final shooting schedule written out I received 20+ emails basically asking the same two questions WHo is Mortis and What are the Sins of Man ??

Without giving things away about the movies because I hate spoilers I will try my best to answer these questions ....

By Jamie Santamore

When I first started mauling over the idea of Sins of Man in my mind a few years ago I asked myself both of these questions and honestly I didn't have a clue who Mortis was or what the Sins of Man were, I knew I wanted to base the story loosely on the SEVEN DEADLY SINS and that is what I tried to do with the script and the action of the movie, I didn't come right out and mention the sins until late in the movie but if you watch the movie you can see the sins being represented. Lust, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Envy, Wrath and Gluttony are all represented in Rise of Mortis

I've always been interested by sin and what makes a sin bad , worse, worst . I'm not an overly religious person so that really placed little into my thought process for writing Sins of Man .

As to WHO Mortis is, that was a tough question fr me to answer during the writing of Sins of Man : Rise of Mortis and it's something that I still struggle with this question even thought I've written Sins of Man II : Vengeance and Sins of Man III (Subtitle withheld for now) . Mortis is someone who is very jaded, revenge minded wants people to pay for their sins, Mortis is the

Mortis is ME, Mortis is YOU, Mortis is EVERYONE what I mean by that is I think there is a small amount of "Mortis" in all of us, that impulse to smack the crap out of the old lady is so slow in the check out line, When we stuck in traffic and we're running late and you want to run people over who cross the street outside of a crosswalk. Mortis is the little voice in our head that has all these murderous ideas and for most of us they are simply that ideas but there are some of us that act on those ideas.

When I was writing Sins of Man II : Vengeance I asked myself these questions again and when I started thinking about it I wanted Mortis to be a different person, I wanted Mortis to be MORE Bloodthirsty, MORE Violent, MORE Angry, I wanted to bring MORE Guts & Gore to vengeance because this time NOTHING will STOP Mortis !

Filming of SIns of Man II : Vengeance kicks off on May 1st . If you want to help us make a killer slasher movie PLEASE visit our campaign and DONATE and TOGETHER we will make #MakeSlashersGreatAgain !
